The Bomber build moves on, these bad boys arrived today, ordered a week ago yesterday from China, estimated delivery 19th-30th June, were at Charles De Gaulle Airport at 4.00pm yesterday. The front wheel to fit these is being hand built at a local wheel building company, will take about 5 weeks for completion.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

The Bomber is coming on Ok now, the copy of the costing spreadsheet is below £1646.00 So far, the last high ticket item to procure is this.

This will take the cost to £2800.00ish, but to buy one outright would have cost this.

So will end up £2200.00 to the good.



Frame £198.00
DNM Burner Mono shock £103.00
Wheel/Motor/Controller/Brakes £697.85
8mm Bolts, Washers, nuts £8.69

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

Ok Bomber Fans, had to wait four days for a piece of aluminium tube to arrive to act as a drift, in the first phot is the bottom bearing case sitting on a taper about 8mm from its home position, got the drift a perfect size not to damage the base, a couple of taps with the hammer and bingo.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

Ready now for the top ballrace.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

This guy needed a drift, you will see why.




Bloody amature.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

Would you credit it, this was ordered from China on the 7th (tree days ago) and arrived this morning.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

Fitted the forks, and rear disc, Sur ron should be here in a week or so.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

This is the rear brake disc fitted to the wheel, there is a shim fitted, but until the caliper is fitted on the frame, and the wheel offered up, won't know if this is required.

Top ball race is fitted, as you can see there is still about an inch of fork stem visible above the handlebar stem, I don't want to cut the fork stem so have ordered more spacers to take the difference up, then the threadless cap can be fitted and job done.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

This is the brains of the Bomber, a Sabvoton Controller, might be calling on Foxy a bit later on.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles

Rear wheel plonked in place, because the frame is designed to take a variety of wheels, the use of spacers is necessary, in this case 2 X m16, 8mm, this will center the wheel then the rear caliper mounting bracket will have to be shimmed out to line up with the disc.
